Outdoor Furnace: Problems Caused By A Leaky Door Seal
Your door gasket ("Fire Rope" or "Door Seal") on your outdoor boiler must be replaced typically every 2-3 years. This is a normal maintenance routine that we highly recommend so that you can keep your boiler healthy and efficient, and this also reduces your workload.
If your door seal is failing, this will cause the following problems:
- Reduced efficiency
- Wastes your precious wood fuel
- Increases your workload
- Possible furnace overheats
- Possible loss of water (and water treatment!) that must be replaced
- In rare cases, damage to overheated steel, particularly the door frame
The process of replacing your door seal is simple - Easy Instructions are available at our website by clicking HERE.
Remember that the door seal replacement kit requires BOTH the fire rope, AND the high temp caulk. Both items are available by clicking HERE.
Trivia:
The EPA has banned outdoor wood boilers. EFFECTIVE NOW: New regulations allow homeowners to only install "high-efficiency" outdoor boilers. Those "high-efficiency" units require additional maintenance and must only use well-seasoned wood, but their technology is improving and costs are coming down. There is a bright future for you to SAVE MONEY by heating your home with wood!
What if I already have an outdoor boiler?
The government says, "If you like your wood-burning heater, you can keep your wood-burning heater"...for now.
The most important thing you can do is properly maintain your outdoor boiler so that it will last for 40 years or more. We will show you how!
How Does This Affect Me?
What we do know is that when your outdoor boiler reaches its end of life, YOU CANNOT REPLACE IT! That is the law.
So our goal here at Outdoor Boiler Care is to help you keep your furnace healthy and in perfect running condition for decades! (So you can keep saving money!)

We make it simple for you! Just follow our easy maintenance tips, read our newsletters and laugh at our funny jokes, and most importantly, make sure you remove ash and that your water is appropriately treated with Certified Liquid Armor water treatment.
